Flood Damage Experts In Loudon Discuss Problems With Tornadoes

Recently, tornadoes have plagued the Mid-Western part of the country, and it is possible that the Loudon area could get negatively affected by severe weather. Over the last week or two, hundreds of tornadoes have been reported in the United States, which has created several victims of excessive flood damage. The presence of tornadoes can cause conditions in areas far away from the funnel cloud system. Places several miles away from a tornado can suffer from excessive rains and problems with high-speed winds. Many regions located hundreds of miles away from most of the tornadoes have still felt their fair share of issues that have forced them to call in professional flood damage restoration companies such as SERVPRO.

Many regions have suffered from flooding caused by overflowing rivers. Once water builds up outdoors, flood damage inside your Loudon home is possible. Moisture coming into your house from the outside can create several issues with your building materials and contents. For example, when water enters from the ground, your carpets are the first item affected. When carpets get saturated, its backing can peel away from the fabric and cause your flooring to lose its structural integrity. Water that comes into your property from the outside can be contaminated, which can also force our SERVPRO team to remove and replace your carpeting materials.

Once your carpets get wet, your subflooring materials are the next to suffer from moisture-related issues. If wooden materials get wet, mold damage can occur if they stay wet for more than 48 hours. When mitigating water-related problems inside your house, our SERVPRO water restoration technicians or WRTs take measures to remove all moisture within 48 hours.

We can accomplish such rapid drying by creating an atmosphere that speeds up the natural evaporation and drying process. We do this by implementing industrially advanced equipment, including high-velocity air movers and specialized dehumidifiers. If you ever suffer from problems after a tornado or severe thunderstorm strikes your region, call SERVPRO of Loudon & Roane Counties at (865) 986-3015 24 hours a day and seven days a week.
